Nahida won't either. [Firmly, but not forcefully. In fact, he doesn't think anyone here would forget about her--but he knows it's not the same. Their bond is different.]
That isn't my intention, if that's what it sounds like. [she doesn't meet his gaze though, looking out at the mcdonald's.] I'd just like to make sure that she knows.
[He still looks very concerned, but he nods slowly.]
Realistically speaking, you're going to make it much further than I am. [For a lot of reasons, honestly. Normally, he wouldn't be so quick to admit this--he'd have more faith in his own abilities, his drive to do what he must. But in this situation... it's not likely.] But I promise I'll do whatever you need me to. It's never a question.
realistically speaking she also thinks she's going to make it further than him - it's more a logical thing, he has one less team member, she's sure she's stronger than him, all of that, but. emotionally, she doesn't like it.]
... I will do whatever you need me to, as well. [she says, finally.] Please be careful, Kaveh.

Of course I will. But Shenhe--why are you talking like you're sure you won't make it?
